اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَـا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى آلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ اَللَّهُمَّ بَـارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَـا بَـاَرَكْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى آلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

Say “Allahu Akbar” while rising up from 2nd sajdah of fourth rak'at. Sit properly in Jalsa posture described in Jalsa step and recite following:

اَلتَّحِيَّاتُ لِلَّهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِبَاتُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ اَيُّهَاالنَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْنَا وعَلَى عِبَادِ اللهِ الصَّالِحِيْنَ اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لاَّ اِلَهَ اِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَاَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُوْلُهُ

Attta-Hee-Yaatu Lillaahi Was-Salawaatu Wat-Taie-Yi-Baatu As-Salaamu Alaika Aie-Yu-Han Nabeeyu Wa Rahmatul Laahi Wa Barakaatu As-Salaamu Alaienaa Wa Alaa Ibaadil Laahis-Saaleheen Aashhadu Allaa Ilaaha Illal-Laahu Wa Aashhadu Aanna Muhammadan Abduhu Wa Rasulu

'O' ALLAH! YOU Alone deserve all Veneration, Worship and Glory. O Prophet! Peace be on you and the Mercy of ALLAH and HIS Blessings. Peace be upon us and on righteous servants of ALLAH. I bear witness that none is worthy of Worship except ALLAH and I bear witness that Muhammad is HIS servant and Messenger.'

At the time of the words Aashhadu, fold the little and ring finger (of the right hand) inwards and form a circle with the middle finger and thumb. Point the index finger towards Qibla by lifting up when saying 'Lâ Ilâha' and should be lowered back when saying 'Ill Allah', then open the circle and keep your hand straight on thighs.

OR

Point the index finger towards Qibla by lifting up when saying'Lâ Ilâha' and should be lowered back when saying 'Ill Allah', without opening the circle and keeping fingers in folded form.

Both options are correct either to open the circle or just drop the finger without opening the circle, so it can be performed in either ways.

After Tashahud, Durood Shareef must be recited in the last rak'at of the Prayer:

اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَـا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى آلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ اَللَّهُمَّ بَـارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَـا بَـاَرَكْتَ عَلَى اِبْرَاهِيْمَ وَعَلَى آلِ اِبْرَاهِيْمَ اِنَّكَ حَمِيْدٌ مَّجِيْدٌ

Allaahumma Salli'Alaa Muhammadin Wa'Alaa Ali Muhammadin Kamaa Sallaita Alaa I braaheema Wa 'Alaa Ali Ibraaheema Innaka Hameedun Majeed
Alaahumma Baarik 'Ala Muhammadin Wa 'Alaa Ali Muhammadin Kamaa Baarakta 'Alaa Ibraaheema Wa 'Alaa Ali Ibraaheema Innaka Hameedun Majeed

'O' ALLAH, let YOUR Peace come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as YOU have brought Peace to Ibrahim and his family. Truly, YOU are PRAISEWORTHY and GLORIOUS.

O ALLAH, Bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as YOU have Blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, YOU are PRAISEWORTHY and GLORIOUS.

After Durood, recite this dua:

رَ‌بِّ اجْعَلْنِي مُقِيمَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمِن ذُرِّ‌يَّتِي ۚ رَ‌بَّنَا وَتَقَبَّلْ دُعَاءِ رَ‌بَّنَا اغْفِرْ‌ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيَّ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ يَقُومُ الْحِسَابُ

Rabbi Jaalni Muqeemassalata Wa Min Zurriyyati Rabbana Wataqabbal Dua Rabbanaghfirli Wali Wali Daiyya Wa Lil Moominina Youma Yaqoomul Hisaab

'O Lord, Make me and my children steadfast in Salah, Our Lord accept the prayer. Our Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment.'

After reciting dua, face towards the right direction, sight on the shoulder and say:

السَّلاَمُ عَلَيكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah

'Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah'

الْحَمْدُ للّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الرَّحْمـنِ الرَّحِيمِ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

Al-Hamdu Lillaahi Rabbil'aalameen Arrahmaanir Raheem Maaliki Yawmideen Iyyaaka Na-Budo Wa-Iyyaaka Nasta'een Ihdinassiraatalmustaqeem Siraatalladheena An'amta Alayhim Ghayril Maghduobi'alayhim Waladduaaalleen Ameen

'All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds. The Most Kind, the Most Merciful. The Master of the Day of Judgement. You alone we worship and to You alone we pray for help. Show us the straight path, the way of those whom You have favoured, and not of those who have deserved Your anger and gone astray'

Note: After reciting Surah Fatiha the people behind the Imam softly say 'Ameen'.

Then recite Surah Ikhlas:

قُلۡ هُوَ اللّٰهُ اَحَدٌ‌ ۚ‏ اَللّٰهُ الصَّمَدُ‌ ۚ‏ لَمۡ يَلِدۡۙ وَلَمۡ يُوۡلَدۡ ۙ‏ وَلَمۡ يَكُنۡ لَّهٗ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ

Qul Huwal-Lahu Ahad Allahus-Samad Lam Yalid Wa Lam Yulad Wa Lam
Yakul-Lahu Kufuwan Ahad

"Say: He is Allah, the only one. Allah helps and does not need help. He does not produce a child and nor was He born of anyone. There is none equal to Him"

Note: If one is offering the Prayer alone, Surah Ikhlas or any other Surah should be recited.

Raise your hands' palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your thumbs stretched to ear lobes from behind and leave the rest of the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.

Say "ALLAH u Akbar" while bending down for ruku.

اَللهُ أكْبَرُ

Allahu Akbar

"Allah is The Greatest"

In Ruko position, grab the knees with the hands and spread your fingers over the knees. Bend your body so that your back is straight, not arching it (back and head should be in a 90 degree angle with your legs) and keep your sight at your feet

Once you are bent to the proper angle, say (three or more odd times):

سُبْحَانَ رَبِّىَ الْعَظِيْمِ

Subhanna Rabbeyal Azeem

"Glorified is my Lord, the most great."

Rise up from ruku, raise your hands (palms facing towards Kaaba, up till your thumbs stretched to ear lobes from behind and leave the rest of the fingers in their normal state, don't join them together or spread them apart.)

while raising your hands, recite:

سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَه

Samey - Allahu - leman - Hameda.

'ALLAH listens to him who Praises HIM'

While standing say:

رَبَّنَـا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ

Rabbana Lakal Hamd

'O' our SUSTAINER! All Praise is due to YOU Alone'

Note: The congregation behind the Imam will not say 'Samey Allahu leman Hameda', they will only say 'Rabbanâ lakal Hamd.'
